Trask Family Update
>>2017<<
Dad: Still working at
Springfield Freightliner. Got his shop finished this year and loves working in
it! He is currently working on a Model A Roadster, as well as adding on a
bedroom/moving the laundry room out on our house for more space. Always staying
busy!
Mom: Working hard at
her Plexus business: it is the perfect thing for her considering her love of
health and nutrition. Her and I got to see the ocean (Oregon coast) for the
first time this year and it was beautiful. She remodeled her kitchen with help
from Dylan and we all love how it turned out.
Ashley {22}: I began
working at McDonalds in January, it has been an interesting year. I enjoyed my
trip out west with Mom, so many adventures. Seven new states were checked off
of my list.
Dylan {18}: Bought a
blazer that needed work, flipped it, and sold it. Continuously does cool stuff
to his truck to make it more and more awesome. He helps Dad out a lot with his
side jobs at home, although recently he has needed to recover from a major
chest surgery and he is healing well from that.
Paige {13}: Is taller
than me now even though she is nine years younger than me! She has grown so
much this year. She is 31% fluent in French, crochets anything you could
possibly imagine, faithfully practices her violin; therefore plays it
beautifully, and still desires to become a midwife/missionary in Africa when
she gets older.
Joshua {12}: This guy
knows all there is to know about dinosaurs. He still wants to be a
paleontologist and plans on opening up his own museum when he grows up. He had
a blast helping Dad and his brothers build a treehouse in our front yard this
year.
Levi {10}: 24/7 he
has one thing on his mind: hunting. He is very knowledgeable on the subject and
cannot wait to hunt himself. He loves to go hiking in our woods, go on bike
rides, and help out at our neighbor's place-all with his brothers (they're best
buds and do everything together)!
Elias {8}: Is a
cowboy-wanna-be except for he doesn't like cows! He loves white horses, is
interested in taxidermy, and has quite the pocket knife collection. He has
really taken off with his reading this year and enjoys it more now.
Caden {7}: Always
keeps us entertained with his funny expressions and the things he says! He
loves to play with his baby brother, but also keeps up with his big brothers.
He stood up in front of our whole church and told a long story he had made up
into the microphone at "Talent Night" - brave boy…I can really see
him being a preacher someday!
Rylan {5}: Him and
Lilliana are best friends. They take turns playing with dolls, trucks, and
everything in between. He loves to try and make up jokes and then will laugh
hysterically at himself. He is always trying to be a helper. He also loves the
pet hamster he got this year named Ranger and takes such good care of him.
Lilliana {3}: Lilli
is all girl - pink, princesses, pink, frills, pink, bows, pink, dresses, pink,
anything sparkly, and anything…pink! She is growing her bangs out, can count up
to thirteen, sings the alphabet, loves watching "Strawberry
Shortcake", and likes eating PINK frosted donuts.
Micah {1}: This
little guy is walking all over the place, as well as trying to climb everything
in sight. His red hair has lightened and is becoming more blonde. He likes to
give hugs and kisses, clap, and wave bye-bye. He already has high levels of
sass and is quite the handful, but he is super fun and has the most adorable
cheesin' smiley face.
Happy New
Year to everyone! We hope that 2018 is a blessed year for you all!
With love,
The Trasks
